    I am realizing that I am not deranged enough. This is why I'm not as good of a writer as I could be. The greatest writers were all wackjobs.

    This isn't me romanticizing mental illness. I think derangedness can be a learned trait, independent of existing maladies.

    Rather... I think its more to do with... have strong feelings about "truths". Or incredible ability to understand a "truth" then interpret it.

    That could very well lead to derangement :blob_hmm:

    I feel my cynicism slowly melt away whenever I watch My Dress Up Darling. It portrays such a kind world :blob_aww:

    Or maybe I've just been out of high school for too long and the kids are actually alright :blob_hmm:

    It's a good manga, albeit the finish is way too rushed.

    I actually wasn't following the manga, but I followed the last few chapters, and I was baffled that the author just chose to end it there.

    Especially when a lot of modern romance manga are exploring what happens after the couple gets together :blob_hmm:

    The author said he(she?) will finish it way befor the finishing line. Author had 40 or so chapters to make a satisfying ending, yet it still end up feeling rushed. Weird case really.

    Daily music recommendation #130

    Deathconsciousness is a weird album. No one can even agree on its genre(s). It was made on a shoestring budget and a stone age mic. It might also be the only album to come with a wacky 70 page philosophical booklet about "Deathconsciousness" as a concept (idk I've never read it).

    The concept is of course "everything dies and nothing matters lol"

    Not the most cheery album. In fact, I had Bloodhail off the album as my first recommendation just for how downer it is.

    Earthmover is no different. It's like, about golems who want to die or something (idk I can hardly make out the lyrics). But this song just hits different. 11 and a half minutes of agony and pain.

    I don't want to spoil the song, but its second half conveys, what sounds to me, the feeling of death. It's like the classic light at the end of the tunnel, except it isn't a light. It isn't even the joke about the truck. It's just kinda something. The feeling's visceral and intense, but positive or negative descriptors just fail to explain it. It's Deathconsciousness.

    I will never fall for strawberry propaganda.

    Both real and artificial strawberries taste awful :blob_cringe:

    Good on cheesecakes though :blob_drool:

    I do wonder what's making my formal/academic writing AI-like. Every essay, paper, or cover letter gets flagged by one of those AI detection websites—not at all the case with my creative writing :blob_hmm:

    Is it the em dashes?

    The Basque Rhesus factor rabbithole is nuts. What the fuck is going here?

    I like haplogroups, but like all sciences there's a lot of junk to sift through.

    Same, though I'm totally not an expert on them, so I wouldn't know what's going on. I assume there isn't enough bullshittery to get to whatever the first post was talking about though :blob_hmm:

    On a side note, it's good to know that this weird "We were actually X!" stuff is universal. Makes me feel better about my grandma telling me our ancestors actually "discovered" America :blob_hmm:

    We did sail to Australia and trade with some aboriginal people before the Europeans ever arrived though :blob_evil:

    Insert spiel about how Skrillex said this was his favorite song but his fans complained that it had no drop.

    This shit is incredible though. So ethereal, with just enough intrigue to keep it from getting stale. Something something they were ahead of their time or something.

    You can tell I don't really listen to electronic music.

    Looking for videos about a certain cultural subject, only to find the comments full of klansmen :sweating_profusely:

    Put in the simplest way, it's basically a belief system that emerged in some Melanesian cultures as a result of colonization and contact with more technologically-advanced cultures where believers perform rituals and stuff in the hopes of getting material riches or cargo.

    A famous example is a cargo cult that believes an American WW2 soldier named John Frum will bring the people prosperity if they follow him.

    I personally see them as an interesting cultural phenomenon that gives insight into early human religion, but I guess some folks make it a race thing :blob_hmm:

    that's just materialism not something new.

    My theological theory (that I don't really believe in) is that God sacrificed static perfection to allow for change and subsequently the creation of the universe. I like this coupled with Phillipp Mainlander's(?) image of God's suicide but like, not as edgy.

    I guess this is just a kind of pandeism :blob_hmm:

    The em dash is a mind virus. I feel compelled to replace every comma with an em dash—even where they work just fine.

    Em dash is like manual breathing for me, once i notice... I feel like there are speed bumps when I read...

    I LOVE using [ ... ] and [ , ] tho.

    I should get a haircut. I'm really starting to look like an actual bellend

    I've always thought Korean men's haircuts look really cool, but they straight up do not work on most Southeast Asian heads. They just look wrong :blob_hmm:

    The thing about this era of Sunny Day Real Estate is that all of their songs sound the same, so you can pick and choose which songs to listen to.

    This one's a personal favorite, even though it sounds like the other dozen songs off the Diary album. The vocal performance is just unbelievably raw.

    And the thing about these old emo bands is that they usually get tired of the sound after their first couple of albums and start making bullshit. Meanwhile, modern emo bands have trouble letting go of the sound ?‍♂️
